re: #471 SixDegrees

See above; I don’t see how he’s added to that power with his latest outburst.

Well, I don’t think he’s gaining market share or anything. His demographic is antediluvian. He’s talking to the people who already hang on his every word. And he could have used that power for good or evil in the wake of a humanitarian nightmare. And he used it for evil.

Just think if he went the other way: if he pulled on all his believers’ heartstrings and implored them to donate to the relief effort. I’m wondering how many of his adherents’ minds were changed regarding whether they should donate to the relief effort by his crack about the devil.
